great buy

Pros: This case looks beautiful and is beautiful to work with, I'm a first time builder and putting my computer together was simple as can be with this box!
Cons: None.
Yea was great when working..

Pros: Kept cool when it worked bout 41c load max usualy 29c idle at times
Cons: Been thru 2 of them for no good apparent reason just shorted out stopped working main fan died on both of them cause temps to go to 86 C and beyond on the first dead one dunno what to say for that gave it 3 stars yet just because it kept cool.
Does the job

Pros: Does the job, picks up the slack where my thermaltake 550 watt couldnt hold up in SLI Mode with 2 8800 gts 640 mb.
Cons: Kinda Large, a little modification to my Thermaltake Soprano DX case and she was in. So no reason not to buy this even says on site GTX certified as well so great PSU get it!!
Overall Review: Made original 3Dmark06 score 11k now jumped to 15k with new psu. Current setup being run by product - q6600 @ 3.2 gz with 2 evga 8800gts 640mb on an evga 780i, 3 hdds: 1 Raptor 150 gig, 1 WD 320gig, 1 Seagate 160gig(usb),4 gig mushkin ram, arctic freezer 7 , 2 optical drives, creative fatality series sound, so as you can see this psu is capable of many things including tri sli
ehhh...

Pros: great when it worked
Cons: stayed within all the normal operating limits for temp for this type of card 1 1/2 months of use and it gets screen errors thruought the whole screen whenever playing games, something worth 400 bucks shouldnt break!
Overall Review: amd 5600+ 4gb mushKin ram vista x64(sadly) 150gb wd raptor X 320 wd storage thermaltake 550w dual rail sli was the card im reviewing but now 2 XFX 7600GT's SLI untill solved asus msn sli deluxe so i post my setup here only to show that the card should have been fine with my gear had a few extra fans for cooling and a thermaltake soprano dx case with exceptional cooling features as well the temps were good 55C to 77c on average once hit 80c after 11 hours use underload I just wonder what made it die.
bad luck?

Pros: Not gunna lie when this thing worked it was the fastest burner ever, incredible speeds writing at 16x burn a movie in 7 minutes or less, 20 dvds no caosters!
Cons: Next thing ya know theirs 2 coasters, then dvd drive will read nothing no blank media or cd-roms or movies and wont even load up the disc. Image burn software reads as (No Reference Point Found) Logical unit not ready, well I really have no idea what it means all I knows is that my brand spankin new dvd burner the 20a1s is WACK! bought it retail even not oem all nice and pretty packaging and the box is worth more to me now!
Overall Review: Well my ups 2nd day shipping turned into ups 7 day shipping when I orderd all this from newegg lets see how long a return takes?
Awsome board

Pros: This board can handle alot and I had almost no problems with installation and drivers and windows vista which runs all my programs and games so far, Im runnin on 320g western digital sata drive, 2 xfx 7600gt's on SLI, amd am2 athlon x64 5600+, with 2 gigs of mushkin ddr2 6400 and its beautiful.
Cons: My Thermaltake soprano dx chassis top side usb ports wont work on this motherboard for some reason.
